Summary
This study shows how vision therapy, including removing eye patching and using prisms, helped a patient adapt from eye misalignment after brain surgery. This adaptation, known as orthophorization, highlights the role of sensory fusion in prism adaptation.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Ophthalmology
- Vision Science
Background:
- A patient developed diplopia and exotropia after right parietal brain surgery.
- Postsurgical evaluation revealed bilateral left hemianopia with macular splitting and alternating exotropia.
